0283 Allerton housing, Liverpool
A beautiful estate of mixed housing set in leafy Allerton, Liverpool. Set amongst a large number of mature retained trees, the site layout is zoned into 5 smaller character areas, with the site focused around a central village green.
The proposed houses range in size from smaller 1,350ft² four-bed terraced houses, all the way up to seven bed, 5,100ft² grand detached houses. The site is carefully split down into five character zones, with pedestrian-first hard-landscaping carefully arranged around the mature, TPO trees to be retained.
Each character zone contains a small number of houses, with the houses all arranged to overlook a shared, pedestrian-first hard surface designed to encourage walking and playing.
The houses use a red-buff multi brick, with quality stone detailing throughout. Accent areas of stone and chestnut-timber cladding compliment the brick walls. Roofs are natural slate, and the windows feature predominantly floor to ceiling glazing, with warm mid-grey frames. Quality hard-landscaping materials are used throughout in order to provide a quality aesthetic, as well as being used to deliberately slow down any vehicular traffic.
